Description: A timely addition to Henry Giroux's Critical Interventions series Ecology and Revolution is grounded in the Frankfurt School critical theory of Herbert Marcuse. Its task is to understand the economic architecture of wealth extraction that undergirds today's intensifying inequalities of class race and gender within a revolutionary ecological frame. Relying on newly discovered texts from the Frankfurt Marcuse Archive this book builds theory and practice for an alternate world system. Ecology and radical political economy as critical forms of systems analysis show that an alternative world system is essential both possible and feasible despite political forces against it. Our rights to a commonwealth economy politics and culture reside in our commonworks as we express ourselves as artisans of the common good. It is in this context that Charles Reitz develops a Green Common Wealth Counter - Offensive a strategy for revolutionary ecological liberation with core features of racial equality women's equality liberation of labor restoration of nature leisure abundance and peace.
